I loved Southern Cal. Love the Colorado Rockies, and so many other places. But I ended up settling down in South Fla. I still love it after 27 years, however it becomes a little fast for my lane these days.

I haven’t been t La Jolla, and I don’t even know much about it. 🙂
I like this, Holly. And really you could have picked any place, since the idea seems to be moving on–closing the metaphorical closet doors as well as the real ones.

Beautifully crafted, Holly. Your words are full of lyricism, with a nostalgic tone and deeply poignant. The last line provides an unexpected and powerful end to the poem. Loved it! You also gave me the chance of a virtual visit to La Jolla which I am sure must be a lovely place to experience with all our senses.
